The 450 class is slowly getting their top riders back from a rash of injuries during the Supercross season and if Lawrence bobbles, there is going to be intense competition at the front of the motos. He is riding a four-race streak of top-fives with podium finishes in Salt Lake City and last week at Thunder Valley. In the past 45 days, Cianciarulo also has a pair of top-fives at the end of the Supercross season, including a podium in Denver.Īaron Plessinger rounds out the top five among riders who were active last week. He has been getting progressively better since with a fifth at Hangtown and fourth last week in Thunder Valley. Webb is undoubtedly still feeling some effects from the concussion he suffered in Nashville and when he is completely healthy, he will challenge for moto wins.Īdam Cianciarulo narrowly missed the top five overall at Fox Raceway with a sixth-place finish in the opener. He finished third overall for the second week in a row, but there were moments in each moto when he was the closest rider to Lawrence. His seventh-place in Moto 1 last week hurt his average and contributed to a fifth in the overall, but even in Moto 2 when he finished third, his performance seemed less powerful than in the first two weeks.Ĭooper Webb had his best overall performance at Thunder Valley. Last week, his Power Ranking number was much closer Lawrence by finishing on the podium in every moto and overall finish. MORE: Jett Lawrence goes six-for-six in moto winsĭylan Ferrandis is another rider with a sweep of the top five in the opening rounds, but he’s beginning to fall back. He won the last two Supercross races (Denver and Salt Lake City) and finished second in the Motocross opener. Every now and then, a rider has a season like this, although it is still hard to imagine a rookie sweeping the entire season.Ĭhase Sexton missed the last two round of the Pro Motocross season, but is listed on this week’s entry list and is expected to race for the first time since suffering a concussion in testing between Fox Raceway and Hangtown. It will take some time before he gets dethroned, if in fact anyone can beat him at all in the coming weeks. Lawrence has easily been the hottest rider in the 450 class through his first three races, winning every moto with comfortable margins over the second-place rider each time. The performance of these riders has created a tight band at the top of the chart and is one of the reasons we also track heat and moto wins. In that span, four riders have perfect top-five records in Main Events and overall finishes although, due to injury and the graduation of Lawrence to the 450 class, none of them have perfect attendance in these five races. Cooper Webb passed Adam Cianciarulo in the Power Rankings with a strong Thunder Valley run. The Power Rankings looks back at the past 45 days, which still includes the last two Monster Energy Supercross races. Jett Lawrence had another perfect weekend at Thunder Valley in Lakewood, Colorado as Cooper Webb surged five positions in the NBC SuperMotocross Power Rankings when his Nashville Supercross heat crash aged out of the formula.
